Sinopse

Food Supply Shifts explores the critical transformations occurring within global food systems due to accelerating climate change, technological advancements, and worldwide events. It emphasizes the vulnerability of current food production and distribution models and the urgent need for adaptation to ensure future food security and economic stability. The book argues that relying on past assumptions of stable climates and readily available resources is no longer viable. One intriguing insight is the potential for agricultural technology, such as precision agriculture and biotechnology, to revolutionize food production.

 
The book begins by tracing the evolution of agriculture from localized practices to globalized systems. It delves into the impact of geopolitical instability, climate change consequences like altered weather patterns, and the transformative power of technology. It analyzes how global disruptions affect supply chains and food prices and presents climate models projecting impacts on key food production regions.

 
The framework it proposes emphasizes diversifying food sources, investing in sustainable agriculture, and ensuring equitable distribution, addressing ethical and social concerns.

    In A New Capitalism, Frank Altman, a legendary figure in the Community Development Finance industry, offers a systematic argument for why and how American capitalism can be extended to people from every walk of life, including those from low-income census tracks. He explores the history and cultural realities that have created an unequal financial playing field, particularly for BIPOC communities and how innovative approaches can create sound investment devices and exponential growth in minority and women-owned businesses and increase levels of home ownership. Altman exposes the false belief held by many that capitalism operates at greatest efficiency when only focused on increasing the wealth of the richest segments of a population and offers clear evidence how American capitalism has always existed within a regulated system. 
     
    By identifying the current moment as transformative for capital markets due to the financial disruptions caused by the COVID- 19 pandemic and the murder of George Floyd, Altman offers pragmatic alterations to existing investment programs, expands on historically successful examples of innovative investment approaches, and outlines next steps that can ensure more people will benefit from the wealth capitalist systems produce.

    In the history of human progress, the most fruitful developments take place at the intersection of different lines of thoughts. The timeless topic of leadership has for centuries always been dominated by the ideas and philosophies of Western thinkers, business executives, and academics. For far too long, the voice from the East has been deafeningly silent. As Asia rises in the global economy, a question that begs an answer is, "What is the leadership tradition of the East and how will it play out globally?" 
     
     
     
    Leadership consultant BH Tan has written an outstanding exposition of the Asian perspective on leadership. He has drawn upon his deep appreciation of Daoist principles to propose a complementary approach to the Western-centric leadership mindset. 
     
     
     
    A lifelong student of Eastern and Western thinking and leadership, he challenges some of our most cherished truths and perspectives. "Either-or" is out. The "both-and" philosophy will lead us to a better future in this complex, chaotic, yet interconnected world. This is the essence of leadership paradoxes. When we integrate both streams of thinking, we transcend contradictions and tap into greater possibilities for progress and creativity. This can only help us lead more wisely and courageously.
